What people will buy!

I am a big fan of buying second hand clothing for my kids. And an even bigger fan of selling what my kids used to others. I have had much success on Craigslist and even ebay. But a garage sale - wow! I remember the first garage sale we had at my parents' house when I was in college. You KNOW how much stuff my parents have so we had a ton of things to sell. My mom told me I could keep half of what we made. We put signs out a couple of days before informing drive bys that it would start at 8am. I vividly remember my dad calling me to get up at 7am bc people were already waiting on our driveway to see what we had. "Jennifer get up! They already coming!!"
I had a "multi-famlly" garage sale with one of my friends and her sister in law last weekend. He mom passed away last year and they are needing to clean out the house to get it ready to put it on the market. So she had a lot of furniture to sell. Her sister in law just had a lot of random stuff. She had a book titled "CHYNA" which was about some wrestler. I brought all the toys that the kids don't play with anymore, some clothes I didn't pass on, our motorcycle helmets, rollerblades, and stereo equipment we upgrade from.
I priced everything what I thouht was reasonable. The helmets orginally were $400 each -I priced them at $20. I got offers for $5 and $10. I did sell them for the marked $. I had speakers orignally $150 each price at $15 each. Some guy offered me $5 each -I didn't sell them to him. While standing around we talked about how people just want you to pretty much give stuff to them. Which from a tax point of view I would rather do then sell them for an unreasonable amount!
BUT down to what strange things people will buy - at least I think they're strange:
Shoes
Free shampoo and soap from hotels
UGLY and I mean ugly "chachkies"
socks
and underwear.

Yes I said underwear.
Would you wear someone else's underwear?
